To make an omelet, you have to break a few eggs. To make new breakthroughs in design, you have to break the mold. Architizer A+ Award nominees do just that, exploring beyond the proverbial box and inventing entirely new forms. From a circular shower head that creates a luxurious bathroom vortex to cantilevering stairs that defy gravity, these innovations add something extra to our days moment by moment, starting from the moment we step into the shower. Below, six A+ Award nominees that will reshape the way we look at the world.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

Ametis Ring by GRAFF<\/b>
Category: Plumbing: Bath \u2013 Fixtures & Fittings<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

The Ametis Ring converts the standard shower head into a halo-like design that actually reshapes the water flow with a gentler stream. The resulting vortex effect, in tandem with the 6-color LED controller, lifts your morning shower to a more theatrical experience. Finish options include polished chrome, architectural black, and architectural white.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

CIRCUIT Lounge by TJOKEEFE<\/b>
Category: Furniture \u2013 Outdoor<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

Eschewing the standard four legs, the CIRCUIT Lounge is made of intersecting planes that present different graphic compositions as your eyes make their way around it. Each plane comprises a series of looped wires that strategically intersect to form the chair\u2019s angular frame.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

ORIGAMI Stairs by Marretti<\/b>
Category: Building Products<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no zigzagging here. Each cantilevering ORIGAMI step is an ultra-thin 8-mm, independently attached to the wall, custom-fit, and defies gravity, making it an ideal staircase for small (or dramatic) spaces. Made from weathering Cor-Ten steel alloy, the steps are available in finish options that include rust, a resin coating in faux-travertine marble, and a variety of colors.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

WALL by Ersa<\/b>
Category: Furniture \u2013 Contract<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

Almost unrecognizable as a series of lockers, Ersa\u2019s metal-framed Wall combines the functions of storage and space separation in a novel, curving design for the workplace or the dormitory. Options include the fluted surfaces and bright colors pictured here, as well as a gray faux-brick.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

Curved High Profile Series\u2122 (HPS) Baffle Ceiling System by Hunter Douglas Contract<\/b>
Category: Finishes \u2013 Ceilings<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

Ceilings no longer have to be square. Hunter Douglas Contract\u2019s extruded-aluminum, curved-baffle ceiling system offers flexible, customizable design that adds a sculptural quality to the high ceilings of airports, stadiums, and arenas, as well as the more conventional heights of corporate, retail, healthcare, and hospitality settings.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

F.Domes – Self Assembly Geodesic Dome Kits by Freedomes<\/b>
Category: Accessories<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

Buckminster\u2019s Fuller\u2019s geodesic dome is perhaps the more material-efficient structure invented. Continuing his legacy, F.Domes has created a geodesic dome kit, which includes a steel framework and external skin, designed to be quickly and easily assembled, low-maintenance, easily portable, and weather-resistant. It reshapes our approach to camping, greenhouses, and event spaces by taking the point out of the tent and replacing it with the dome.<\/p>\n
